Renowned film reviewer M Abdul Rehman Pasha on 13 October released the Silver Jubilee logo of Shanthi Prakashana, a publishing house known for proliferating Islamic teachings in the Kannada language.
Addressing the gathering at BIFT Auditorium after releasing the logo, Mr. Pasha valued the publication work carried out by the Shanti Prakashana.
He said, “Unfortunately the responsibility of upholding communal amity lies on the shoulders of the minority community. Shanthi Prakashana is doing a very crucial job of filling up the trenches of ignorance existing between different communities.”
